~Easter

Happy Easter!! 

From dying Easter eggs, the bunny cake,

 to the newSpring dresses it was a great day.

The girls loved dying the eggs but took

 over this year with the cake.  It turned out great. 

The girls did well picking out their new dresses. 

They both looked beautiful this morning as we

 headed out tochurch. 

The real reason for the day is our Savior. 

 

 

“Our Savior lived again. The most glorious, comforting,

 and reassuring of all events of human history had taken

place—the victory over death. The pain and agony of

Gethsemane and Calvary had been wiped away. The

salvation of mankind had been secured. The Fall of

Adam had been reclaimed. The empty tomb that first

Easter morning was the answer to Job’s question,

‘If a man die, shall he live again?’ To all within the

 sound of my voice, I declare, If a man die, he shall l

ive again. We know, for we have the light of revealed truth.” 

Thomas S. Monson

 

What a great hike!  This hike was about 1.5 miles.  We headed out with the

Manera's for the adventure.  The girls all loved it.  It really pushed Raychel

since  her knee surgery she hasn't been able to do much.  The weather was perfect,

it even rained on us some at the top.  The view was beautiful.  It is amazing to think

the wind, water and erosion has caused this natural arch.

~Catnap

So lazy!  The hard life of a cat.

~Beauty

Beauty is all around us if we just take the time

to look,

enjoy,

and take it all in.

~Spring Break

Spring Break fun!! 

We headed out of town for the weekend to regroup and

have fun! We love our time together where the world can't

interrupt us.  The girls are so much fun to be around.  They

have a way of making us all just laugh out loud. 

~Little Friends

We were able to spend the day with these cuties!  They had so much

fun together.  They may have moved away but we are blessed to still have

them close enough to visit and spend time together. 

~Shades

 

These three took full advantage of the sunshine and had

to put on the shades.  

~Playdate

 

Who knew wrestling on a trampoline could be so much fun?

These three sure did. 

They laughed so hard and had so much fun. 

 It was fun watching them play and wrestle together.  I love these

early warm Spring days that are just warm enough to bring

everyone outside to enjoy it.

~Raychel

This young lady is growing up right before my eyes.  Everyday I am more and

more impressed with all she does.  She is standing up for what she knows to

be true even when she knows she will stand alone.

~Outdoor Fun

Today was a nice cool day with a little overcast.

Jolene had so much fun with Drake on a

lease walking him around the yard.  He did

much better in the backyard then he

does on a real walk. 

Before she came in she made the

cutest little sidewalk chalk drawing of herself

with Drake.  I sure hope this

dog knows how loved he is. 

~Ella

Ella loved napping in the

bean bag chair today.

It was so funny watching

her try to walk on it without

sinking into the middle.

~Blinds

We finally got blinds up on the

little windows in the

Front Room. 

They loook so nice.

~Care Bears

We got these pillow cut outs from Great Grandma Pearl

a few years ago. On our Friday off the girls wanted to

sew them.  They were pretty hard because of  the

round edges.  Who knew suffing pillows could be

so much fun.

~Jump For Your Heart

The school had a jump rope-a-thon for the older kids.

She earned the most money out of everyone,

she was honored in front of the school, got a certificate,

and lots of prizes and a T-shirt.  She was so

excited and proud of what she

was able to do to help others.

~Lunch

While I was fixing Raychel lunch,

Ella thought wanted it for herself.

~Winter Garden

I am so ready for Spring.  I am

tired of looking at the garden with

no color.  Jolene and I can't wait

to get in dirt, plant flowers and enjoy

Spring.

~Raychel

                                                      Another night where Raychel wanted
                                                                   her picture taken. 
                                                          She looks so pretty in green.

~After The Rain

The view of the mountains out my bedroom

window this morning

after a night of rain. 

~Grease

Tonight we went to the

Glenwood Spings High

School production of Grease. 

It was a great show with our

Nephew Collin Page as Danny

and Emily Page as an extra.

They all did a great job.  After the play

we went with Sterling, Emily and Collin

to Dairy Queen for ice cream. 

~Lazy Days

Jolene found the best way to spend the morning,

eating cookies, watching a movie with a

sleeping cat in your arms.
